    Well the Mav is finished and Dyno'd for the last time.

    Twin Thermos gave an extra 4.5kw even at 35C ambient.

    So now all up 104.5kw @ 12psi a gain overall of 26% from when we started.

    Very happy with the results.

    Now onto another BMW M3 this one has 6 individual throttle bodies

    Very nice work.

    So is the beemer supercharged or turbo charged?

    And they are keeping the 6 TBs as well?

    That would make a very interesting IC!

    i wonder if there would be much decrease in efficiency if one was to make a similar item with alrger fins and larger air gap between them... instead of lashing out on this patented technology
    apart from the time involved..

    what is the cost of the tubes?
    hmm GM in US have 4 tubes for about US$140.. 89018061

    The US use various sizes depending on the model of car but they are few and far between Ebay is the usual source.

    As for decrease in efficiency I would say yes, but until you try you never know.

    MattMc - are you still playing with these? the results look very good. I am considering running laminova for my build now. I have a couple of questions to PM you about if you are still into this sort of thing?
